JSCMU-Chapter 189: The Seventh Layer of Lotus Sword Technique!

Lin Ya hadn’t expected Yun Jin to suddenly pull such a flashy stunt.

But, since it was Yun Jin doing it, it suddenly felt natural.

If Yun Jin didn’t pull off a few flashy stunts, that would feel off.

“Sect Leader,” Lin Ya smiled and said seriously, “this just shows how much Xiao Jin values this tournament! Preparing all these things takes time too! Xiao Jin thought it would be too boring for everyone to just sit and wait for the matches, so she sacrificed her free time to make all this. Such noble character, it’s truly moving!”

Zhao Wuji: “???”

He coldly glanced at Lin Ya, “You sure know how to twist words.”

Lin Ya wasn’t afraid of Zhao Wuji at all now. He directly replied, “Twist words? What’s there to twist? Which sect rule says you can’t set up a stall during the Grand Sect Tournament? There isn’t one, is there? If there isn’t, then there’s nothing more to say.”

Zhao Wuji was furious, “The sect rules didn’t say you can’t commit suicide either, but why doesn’t anyone do that?”

Lin Ya was shocked, “What? Sect Leader, you want to commit suicide? Absolutely not! You’re the soul of our Tianxing Sect. If you died, I can’t even imagine how fast our lives would—”

Lin Ya slammed the brakes, “—how painful our lives would be.”

Zhao Wuji’s face turned completely black.

Ever since Yun Jin arrived, Lin Ya had gotten more and more unhinged!

But even if Lin Ya had no shame, could he really let himself follow suit?

Everyone knew Lin Ya was shameless, was he supposed to follow along too?

Zhao Wuji turned away, unwilling to deal with Lin Ya any longer.

Anyway, it’s just a few more days.

He’d just pretend Lin Ya was making a last-ditch effort.

People tend to go a little wild before their end, so it could be forgiven.

Zhao Wuji simply turned his attention to the tournament.

In that short time, Arena 1 had already produced a result.

In Ruan Jun’s hand was a curved-blade magic weapon, resting against his opponent’s neck. He wore a graceful expression and said, “Junior Brother, thank you for the match.”

The defeated disciple collapsed on the ground, still visibly shaken.

His cultivation was also in Nascent Soul Stage.

Although he’s in early Nascent Soul and Ruan Jun was peak Nascent Soul…

Still, to lose in less than three moves was truly shocking.

“Arena 1, Ruan Jun wins,” the referee announced.

Ruan Jun gave a small smile and looked straight at Yun Jin, “Junior Sister Yun, I really hope I get to face you in the next round.”

Everyone couldn’t resist turning to look at Yun Jin.

Yun Jin also smiled slightly, “I hope so too. But for now…”

Ruan Jun narrowed his eyes.

Yun Jin’s tone suddenly turned bright and warm, “Senior Brother Ruan, would you like some snacks?”

Ruan Jun’s expression darkened immediately.

Even after seeing such a battle, Yun Jin was still acting so nonchalant!

Was she not taking him seriously or did she just have a death wish?

Ruan Jun curled his lips and leapt off the stage, coldly saying, “Junior Sister Yun, is this because you know you’re going to die, so you’re trying to save up for your funeral expenses in advance?”

Yun Jin smiled gently, “That’s right. Would Senior Brother like to support my business?”

Ruan Jun found it ridiculous. He tossed out a top-grade spirit stone, “Keep the change!”

So generous?

Yun Jin’s eyes lit up. She immediately took the spirit stone and began laying out a bunch of spiritual herbs and ores she had no current use for.

Then she looked expectantly at Ruan Jun, “Senior Brother Ruan, all of this together, I’ll give you a deal, just fifty top-grade spirit stones.”

Ruan Jun had originally just wanted to humiliate her, now his face darkened even more.

What was this nonsense, did she think he was someone easy to take advantage of?

“Too expensive? Then 49. I can’t go any lower,” Yun Jin said.

Ruan Jun walked off, black-faced.

Yun Jin called after him, “Senior Brother Ruan, you can’t even afford a few spirit stones?”

Ruan Jun didn’t respond, and Yun Jin mumbled to herself, “I thought he was so generous, turns out he’s just putting on a show.”

In the sky.

Qing Yun was watching with amusement.

“This disciple is interesting. Looks like my Xuandan Sect will get lively soon,” he chuckled.

Feng Yu and Li Yun, those two guys, had shown off their disciples in front of him many times.

Now, just this one disciple he took in could probably drive all seven or eight of theirs mad.

“Xuandan Sect?” Cang Li said calmly. “That’s not far from Kunlun Sword Sect. Since Qing Yun senior made the trip, be sure to visit Kunlun often to see my Junior Sister Yun.”

Previously, Cang Li wasn’t sure if Yun Jin would become his personal junior disciple.

But now…

All he did was send a message, and his master personally came?

What more proof was needed?

Yun Jin was definitely going to become his junior sister!

“Is that so? What a shame the Beast Taming Sect is a bit far from you all. It might be inconvenient to visit. But don’t worry, I’ll pass on your fond wishes to Yun Jin,” Shen Yanye said confidently.

The Beast Taming Sect was the closest, and his master, the Mahayana Stage Liuli Zhenren was about to arrive!

Qing Yun may also be Mahayana, but as an alchemist, cultivation wasn’t his strong suit. If it came to a fight, he wouldn’t be his master’s opponent.

Yun Jin was already destined to be part of the Beast Taming Sect.

The three hovering in the sky glanced at each other, and each could sense the thick hostility.

Hmph!

There’s only one Yun Jin, when the time comes, it would all come down to skill.

The disciple tournament proceeded as scheduled.

All 26 matches in the round went by faster than anyone expected.

Many battles ended in an instant.

Yue Zhao and Yu Songnian both finished their first rounds smoothly.

And now, it’s Si Wanning’s turn.

Her opponent this time was—Zhou Li!

Toward Zhou Li and Zhou Dai, the two brothers, Si Wanning didn’t really feel any hostility. In fact, she even felt a bit of sympathy.

But.

This was the arena.

Only by giving it your all can you show true respect for your opponent.

And this time.

Si Wanning didn’t want Heavenly Sword Peak to lose.

Even if there’s only four of them participating, they had to fight with everything for first place!

“Senior Brother Zhou Li,” Si Wanning cupped her hands, “I apologize.”

A crystalline longsword appeared in her hands.

Zhou Li’s face turned serious. He also summoned a long spear.

In the next moment.

Both their figures became phantoms, clashing together.

One excelled in swordsmanship, the other in spearsmanship. Their fight was evenly matched, thrilling and intense!

The other two matches happening at the same time were completely ignored. All eyes were on this high-level battle that came a little too early in the first round.

Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes.

He knew Zhou Li’s skill. These past few years, Zhou Li had been training outside, his actual combat experience should give him an edge over Si Wanning.

But right at that moment.

The situation on the arena changed dramatically.

Zhao Wuji’s face shifted slightly.

Lotus flowers bloomed on the platform, petals spinning!

Zhou Li hesitated for a split second.

And in the next moment.

Si Wanning’s sword was already at his throat.

Zhou Li’s spear fell weakly to the ground. He muttered, “Seventh-level sword technique…”

Si Wanning’s swordsmanship had taken another step forward, she had reached the seventh level!
